BRODY MARK S 4

What Happened Mark S. Brody, a director of Unity Bancorp (UNTY), was granted 1,200 restricted shares on 2026-01-27 as an award under the company’s 2023 Equity Compensation Plan. The grant was recorded at $0 per share (a restricted stock award, not a purchase), so there was no cash outlay. The filing reports total beneficial ownership of 281,744 shares after the grant.

Key Details

• Transaction date and type: 2026-01-27 — Award/Grant (code A) of 1,200 restricted shares at $0.00.
• Vesting: The 1,200 shares vest over four years — 300 shares on each of 1/27/2027, 1/27/2028, 1/27/2029 and 1/27/2030 (F1).
• Shares owned after transaction: Total Beneficial Ownership reported as 281,744 (remarks in filing).
• Other holdings: Filing notes 4,000 shares at Computershare with upcoming vesting (F2); 113,854 shares listed across several accounts including joint holdings with spouse, Fidelity, Shareworks, and Computershare (F3); some shares are in a master account where Brody has dispositive but not voting power (F4); 18,400 stock options are outstanding and currently exercisable (F5).
• Timeliness: Reported to the SEC on 2026-01-28 for a 2026-01-27 transaction (filed the next day).

Context This was a restricted stock award (compensation), not an open-market buy or sale. Restricted shares typically cannot be sold until they vest, so this award increases Brody’s future stake over time rather than representing an immediate market purchase or sale. The filing does not indicate a 10b5-1 plan, gift, tax withholding sale, or immediate option exercise.
